COVID-19 UPDATE: DR TANKERSLEY AND OUR STAFF HAVE ALL RECEIVED BOTH DOSES OF THE COVID VACCINE
- All your COVID vaccine questions answered: https://www.immunize.org/covid-19/
- Shelby County Health Department https://www.shelbytnhealth.com/
- We have implemented measures to ensure the safety of our patients and staff. Patients seeing Dr. Tankersley will be taken to an exam room rather than waiting in the waiting room.
- We have created a hands-free environment in our office and building that our patients almost never have to touch a door knob.
- In order to safeguard the health of our patients, employees and those who partner in the care of our patients, Dr. Tankersley is only seeing pharmaceutical reps through virtual appointments. We ask reps to contact the office for scheduling. Reps who have provided our clinic evidence of both influenza vaccine and COVID vaccine are welcome to call on our clinic in person.
Immunizations News
1. Flu vaccine is recommended for all children and adults 6 months and older. We have received our 2020-21 supply for those 6 months and older. Get vaccinated! It's a seat belt for your immune system. This is especially important this year with COVID-19. We no longer have the FluMist nasal vaccine for those 2-49 years of age.
2. The shingles (SHINGRIX) vaccine works! This 2-shot series is recommended for everyone 50 yrs and older, even if you had the old shingles vaccine. The 2nd dose is given 2-6 months after the first dose.
3. We offer eight vaccines for our patients: Human Papilloma Virus/HPV (GARDASIL 9), Influenza (Fluzone), Meningitis/MenACWY (MENVEO) and MenB (BEXSERO), PNEUMOVAX 23, Prevnar 13, Shingles (SHINGRIX) and Tdap (BOOSTRIX).
4. Gardasil-9 (HPV) vaccine is now FDA-approved up to age 45 years and covered by your insurance. It is recommended for everyone 9-26 years of age, and those 27-45 years of age should consider getting this 3-shot vaccine series (only 2 shots if started < 15 years of age).
5. Your best resource for adult and pediatric vaccine information: www.vaccineinformation.org
6. We invite the Mid-South community to receive their vaccines with no appointment required during our office hours! You do not have to be a patient of our clinic. Almost all insurance plans cover vaccines 100% so it's FREE!
7. Pediatric immunizations information from the American Academy of Pediatrics: https://www.aap.org/en-us/advocacy-and-policy/aap-health-initiatives/immunizations/Pages/Immunizations-home.aspx

What Patients Are Saying
" Dr. Tankersley made me feel very confident in his treatment. He listened, he examined and he thought through his findings. He spent adequate time with me to truly get the correct picture of my symptoms. It was so refreshing, as this is not what I find most often when I have to visit a physician these days. I will certainly return to him when needed!" -New Patient
